Have you been intimidated by the thought of assembling a flower arrangement but seasoned failure before you even purchased the flowers? Arranging flowers is not that challenging with a small guidance and some good ideas! Displaying your flowers can be fun specially when being creative in stylish but simple ways.

The first thing to start with is finding some fundamental household containers for your fresh cut flowers. Don't be restricted to the typical glass vase but expand the horizons of your creative imagination and just start to look around you. Grandma's old water picture produces a great country look or a sterling silver pitcher for a more conventional look. Simple candle votive holders with a single flower in it at each place setting at your feast, adds a touch of elegance. Old cans and bottles can be rather nostalgic. The ideas are limitless without the cost of buying a vase. Choosing flowers with large heads like lilies, orchids or sunflowers individually put in a container all queued is quite stylish.

Using vintage teapots, tumblers or even old jam jars can build a talking point. Be certain to cut the stems short so the flowerheads skim the top of the container. Jar or glass containers can be put inside baskets for an unique fall look or spring assortment.

If you have a fitting vase but the color is just not right, try wrapping it with ribbon, string or a scarf. This adds a nice visual interest and distracts the eye from the vase. You could even stick the vase inside an ornamental gift bag for that goes with your style or decor.

It is much simpler to coordinate the color of flowers once you've the vase design set. Another great idea, yet simple, is to cover the beyond the vase in double-sided adhesive tape. Then stick large leaves vertically around. Some household leaves look special because of their exotic markings, coloration or glossiness. If you have no leaves, wind plain string or colored in coils around the bottles of jars. Adding beads or shells can add an ethnic look. Satin parcel ribbon or even honeysuckle vines will work against. Go with where your interests lie.

If this is all not simple enough for you or you have had a few disasters in your demonstration, then a lovely way of displaying flowers is to shut down individual flower heads and float them in a low dish of water. Adding small floating candles is very romantic and brings a peace and tranquillity into your arrangement and your house.
Flower arranging is not something you can really fail at if the flowers you like are blended with the people you like. If the arrangement is for your house or elsewhere, enjoy your creation and the time you spent creating it. Stop and smell the flowers is a cliche we have all heard but oh so true! In this fast paced world, take time to take pleasure from the scents, beauty and diversity of flowers.
